"Regular" visitors to my Blog can see that my usual header picture has shrunk. The picture was a panorama with the text embedded as graphics. Unfortunately, there was some misspellings that had to be corrected. When updating, Blogger would only accept a max width of less than 800 pixels, which makes my header look even more ridiculous than usual.

In Blogger help groups ("Something is broken"), others report to have come across similar problems. I have reported mine.

I ask your indulgence concerning the design of this blog for the time being. That is, until I, Blogger or somebody else find a solution.

UPDATED 16.12.07:The strange sizing of the Header is a change made by Blogger themselves. I found this in Blogger Help Groups:

Hi all,

Thanks for reporting this issue. We've recently made this change, asyou noticed, so header images would default to the actual size of theheader. So, this in fact is desired behavior. We'd love to hear yourfeedback on this change, though, so make sure to share yourthoughts. :)

I have seen dozens of complaints about it, and not one positive comment. There are "fixes" by members, but since all templates are different, and the fixes involves tempering with CSS, I couldn't make it work for me.

i don't have that problem but I have no picture in the header. I noticed they changed and rechanged things at blogspot lately. I don't know why they do it, for sure there is a reason, but it doesn't make us happy. I hope my background works.

Thank you Dick. I have gone a bit further into Blogger help, and there seems to be several people with this problem. Theyseem to be largest for those with pictures in the header, but I have seen reports from others as well.

Regarding Blogger Plus

This is a Bloger Plus free zone. I'm sorry, but comments without a proper"return" address can't be answered - I just will not be admitted. And (among other things), I can't stand the "pushy" tactics of Google.

AFIAP

I have it!

Policy on Awards

I have like most other bloggers received a number of Awards during the time I have been blogging. In the process of cleaning up my blog I have moved them to a separate post. If I should receive any more they will be added at the end of this post. I have received them in the spirit they have been given and are grateful for them all. I will continue to do so, but I will not pass them on.
